# Distill a Bottle of Rum on mini copper stills

**Guidekin's take:** Distill your own take-home bottle of rum using a mini copper still in a hands-on workshop. A welcome rum and mixer, rum samples and a cocktail are included; the experience is not recommended for pregnant travelers. 5 from 48 reviews at €107 per person for 3h.

## Overview

This rum distilling experience is a very hands on, bespoke, personal and very knowledgeable workshop like no other in the country. Upon entry to the building you will be warmly greeted by your host upstairs at the main entrance. You shall then be guided to our bespoke micro distillery and once settled you are given a welcome rum and mixer followed by a brief outline of the running of the experience and history of the distillery. Next comes a short history of rums from around the world and a rum tasting section to help you come up with a rum recipe to distill your bottle of rum. Guests then pick a total of 6-10 ingredients from our botanical library to help them create and distill their own rum bottle. While distillation takes place, guests enjoy a rum cocktail. When distillation finishes, guest bottle their rum, add a label with their chosen rum name and finally wax seal their bottle to take away with them.
